Host family
Living with a host family is the most attractive accommodation option on many levels. On the one hand, students benefit from the ideal setting for practising the language and immersing themselves in the English culture, and on the other hand, financially this option allows you to account for your meals for the entire length of your stay. You can choose between a single or double room. In a double room, you will be placed with another student of a different nationality.  The families are situated around 20 to 45 minutes by bus  from the school.
Please note: students of 16-17 years are obliged to stay in a single room.

Residences (from 18 years)
For those who wish to be more independent and to have the possibility to meet other international students, our partner school proposes staying in a residence, in a single or double room whilst having the use of a shared bathroom, kitchenette and lounge, as well as the necessary equipment for doing their laundry. The "superior" residence offers more comfort and the advantage of being right beside the school. As it is a very popular accommodation option, it is essential to book in advance, especially for the months of July and August. In order to deal with the large number of students during the summer, the school has two other residences at its disposal.
